Trigger, pathogen, or bystander: the complex nexus linking Epstein- Barr virus and multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England) - 1 Sept 2012

Owens Gregory P, Bennett Jeffrey L

Abstract excerpt

A causal role for virus infection in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been suggested and widely debated since the landmark epidemiologic studies of Kurtzke revealed a strong environmental determinant to MS susceptibility. Despite multiple efforts, no virus has been unequivocally associated with lesion formation in the brain either by direct isolation or by indirect methods of detection. In many...
